Genshin Pity Calculator

Q: Does pity carry over between banners?

Pity carries over between banners of the same type . For example, your character event banner pity stays when a new character event banner starts. But pity does not carry between different banner types. Character, weapon, and standard banners each have their own separate pity counters.

Q: What is the difference between soft pity and hard pity?

Soft pity means your 5-star rate is higher than the base rate but not 100%. Hard pity means you are guaranteed a 5-star on that exact wish. Hard pity is wish 90 for character banners and wish 80 for weapon banners. Most players get their 5-star during the soft pity range and rarely reach hard pity.

Q: How many Primogems is one pull?

One pull costs 160 Primogems . You can also use 1 Intertwined Fate (which costs 160 Primogems to buy) or buy fates from the Starglitter shop at 5 Masterless Starglitter each. The calculator converts all your currency into total pulls automatically.

Introduction

This Genshin Impact Pity Calculator tells you how likely you are to pull the character or weapon you want with the wishes you have. Enter your Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and Starglitter, then set your current pity count and your goal. The calculator does the math and shows your exact odds of success. For a broader look at total wish costs and planning, you can also use our Genshin Wish Calculator.

It supports all Genshin Impact banner types, including the Capturing Radiance system, Epitomized Path for weapons, and the standard banner. You can plan for any constellation from C0 to C6 or any weapon refinement from R1 to R5. Need more than one target? Add multiple goals to a queue and see your combined odds across all of them.

The tool uses precise probability math — not rough estimates. It calculates soft pity rates, hard pity, and the 50/50 system pull by pull. You get confidence levels, step-by-step breakdowns, probability charts, and a clear answer: do you have enough wishes, or do you need to save more?

How to Use Our Genshin Impact Pity Calculator

Enter your current currency, pity count, and banner details below. The calculator will show your exact odds of getting the character or weapon you want, how many pulls you need, and a full probability breakdown.

Primogems: Enter the total number of Primogems you have right now. Every 160 Primogems equals one pull.

Intertwined Fates: Enter how many Intertwined Fates you own. Each fate counts as one pull.

Starglitter: Enter your Masterless Starglitter. Every 5 Starglitter can buy one Intertwined Fate from the shop.

Manual Pull Count: Type in a custom number of pulls if you want to skip the currency fields. Check the "Override" box next to it to use this number instead.

Banner Type: Pick the banner you plan to wish on. Options include Character Event banners with Capturing Radiance, Weapon banners with Epitomized Path, Standard banner, and more.

Target Name: Give your target a label like "Furina C2" so you can tell your goals apart when you add more than one.

Current Pity: Enter how many wishes you have made since your last 5-star pull on that banner. You can find this in your Wish History.

Guarantee: Check this box if you lost your last 50/50. This means your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character or weapon.

Capturing Radiance Counter: This appears for Character Event banners using the Radiance system. Set it to how many times in a row you have lost the featured character. More losses give you a higher chance next time.

Epitomized Path (Fate Points): This appears for Weapon banners only. Enter how many Fate Points you already have toward your chosen weapon.

Current Constellation / Refinement: Select the constellation level (C0–C5) or refinement level (R1–R4) you already own. Pick "Not Owned" if you do not have the character or weapon yet.

Target Constellation / Refinement: Select the constellation (C0–C6) or refinement (R1–R5) you want to reach.

Add Gacha Target: Click this button to add more goals. The calculator will figure out the total pulls needed for all targets combined, in the order you list them.

Calculate: Press this button to run the math. You will see your success chance, pulls needed at different confidence levels, step-by-step formulas, probability charts, and a full constellation or refinement rate table.

How Pity Works in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, you get new characters and weapons by making wishes on banners. Each wish costs one Intertwined Fate or 160 Primogems. Getting a 5-star character or weapon is rare, but the game has a built-in safety net called the pity system. Pity counts how many wishes you have made since your last 5-star pull. The higher your pity, the closer you are to your next 5-star drop. Our Genshin Wish Calculator can help you estimate the total number of wishes you will need for your goal, while this pity calculator focuses on the exact pull-by-pull probability.

Base Rate, Soft Pity, and Hard Pity

On character banners, the base chance of pulling a 5-star is just 0.6% per wish. This stays the same for your first 73 wishes. Starting at wish 74, you enter soft pity. Your odds jump up sharply with every wish. By wish 90, you hit hard pity, which means you are guaranteed a 5-star. Weapon banners work the same way, but soft pity starts at wish 63 and hard pity is at wish 80. Understanding these percentage increases at each pity level is what makes exact calculation so valuable compared to rough guesses.

The 50/50 and Capturing Radiance

When you pull a 5-star on a character event banner, there is a 50% chance it is the featured character and a 50% chance it is a standard character. This is called the 50/50. If you lose the 50/50, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character. Since version 5.0, Genshin Impact also added Capturing Radiance. This gives you a small bonus chance to win the featured character each time you lose, making it harder to lose multiple 50/50s in a row.

Epitomized Path for Weapons

Weapon banners have two featured 5-star weapons. You can pick one using Epitomized Path. Each time you get a 5-star weapon that is not your chosen one, you earn a Fate Point. As of version 5.0, reaching 1 Fate Point guarantees your chosen weapon on the next 5-star pull. Before version 5.0, you needed 2 Fate Points.

Constellations and Refinements

Pulling a character you already own gives you a constellation, which unlocks extra abilities. Characters can go up to C6, meaning you need 7 total copies. Weapons work the same way with refinements, going up to R5 for 5 total copies. Planning for high constellations or refinements takes a lot of wishes, so knowing your odds ahead of time helps you save and spend wisely. If you want to figure out how much damage a specific constellation or refinement upgrade will add, a DPS Calculator can help you compare the practical impact.

Why Use a Pity Calculator

A Genshin Impact pity calculator tells you how many wishes you need and what your chances are of reaching your goal. You enter your current Primogems, pity count, and target, and it does the math for you. This helps you decide whether to pull now or keep saving for a future banner. The underlying math relies on binomial distribution and expected value concepts applied to the game's layered pity system. If you enjoy probability-based gaming tools, you might also find our Shiny Odds Calculator for Pokémon or our Yu-Gi-Oh Probability Calculator useful for similar odds planning in other games.

Frequently asked questions

What is pity in Genshin Impact?

Pity is a counter that tracks how many wishes you have made since your last 5-star pull. The higher your pity, the closer you are to getting a 5-star character or weapon. At wish 90 on character banners (or wish 80 on weapon banners), you are guaranteed a 5-star drop. This counter resets to zero every time you pull a 5-star.

How do I find my current pity count?

Open your Wish History in Genshin Impact. Count the number of wishes you have made since your last 5-star pull on that banner. If you have never pulled a 5-star on that banner, count all your wishes from the start. You can also use third-party tools that read your wish history URL to count it for you.

Does pity carry over between banners?

Pity carries over between banners of the same type. For example, your character event banner pity stays when a new character event banner starts. But pity does not carry between different banner types. Character, weapon, and standard banners each have their own separate pity counters.

What does soft pity mean?

Soft pity is the point where your chance of pulling a 5-star starts going up fast. On character banners, soft pity starts at wish 74. On weapon banners, it starts at wish 63. Before soft pity, your odds are very low (0.6% for characters, 0.7% for weapons). Once you enter soft pity, your odds rise sharply with each wish until you hit the hard pity guarantee.

What is the difference between soft pity and hard pity?

Soft pity means your 5-star rate is higher than the base rate but not 100%. Hard pity means you are guaranteed a 5-star on that exact wish. Hard pity is wish 90 for character banners and wish 80 for weapon banners. Most players get their 5-star during the soft pity range and rarely reach hard pity.

What does the 50/50 mean?

When you pull a 5-star on a character event banner, there is a 50% chance it is the featured character and a 50% chance it is a random standard character. If you lose, your next 5-star on that banner is guaranteed to be the featured character. This guarantee carries over even if the banner changes.

What is Capturing Radiance?

Capturing Radiance is a system added in version 5.0 that gives you a better chance of winning the featured character each time you lose the 50/50 in a row. After 1 loss, your featured chance goes up by 5%. After 2 losses, it goes up by 50%. After 3 losses in a row, you are guaranteed to win the featured character. It resets once you win.

How does Epitomized Path work after version 5.0?

On weapon banners, you pick the 5-star weapon you want using Epitomized Path. If you get a 5-star that is not your chosen weapon, you earn 1 Fate Point. Since version 5.0, reaching 1 Fate Point guarantees your chosen weapon on the next 5-star pull. Before version 5.0, you needed 2 Fate Points. Fate Points reset when the banner ends.

How many pulls do I need for C6?

You need 7 copies of a character to reach C6. On average, that takes around 600 to 650 pulls on a Capturing Radiance banner, but it can vary. Enter your exact situation into the calculator to see your personal odds. The 90% confidence level is usually around 700–750 pulls depending on your starting pity and guarantee status.

How many Primogems is one pull?

One pull costs 160 Primogems. You can also use 1 Intertwined Fate (which costs 160 Primogems to buy) or buy fates from the Starglitter shop at 5 Masterless Starglitter each. The calculator converts all your currency into total pulls automatically.

What does the guarantee checkbox do?

Check the guarantee box if you lost your last 50/50 on the character event banner. This tells the calculator that your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the featured character, which lowers the number of pulls you need. Leave it unchecked if your last 5-star was the featured character or if you have not pulled a 5-star yet.

Can I plan for a character and a weapon at the same time?

Yes. Click Add Gacha Target to add more goals. The calculator processes them in order from the same shared pull pool. It will show your combined odds of reaching all targets and a breakdown for each one. This is great for planning a character plus their signature weapon.

What do the confidence levels mean?

Confidence levels tell you how many pulls you need to reach a certain chance of success. The 50% level means half of players in your situation would succeed by that pull count. The 90% level is a comfortable safety margin. The 99% level is near-certain. Use the 90% level if you want to be safe without overspending.

Why is my success chance so low?

A low success chance usually means you do not have enough pulls for your goal. High constellation or refinement targets like C6 or R5 need hundreds of pulls. Try lowering your target, or check how many more Primogems you need to save by looking at the 90% confidence number in the results.

Does this calculator work for 4-star characters and weapons?

Yes. Select a 4-star banner type such as Specific 4★ Featured Character or Specific 4★ Featured Weapon from the banner dropdown. The calculator uses the correct 4-star pity system, which has a hard pity at 10 wishes and different soft pity rates.

What is the Override checkbox for?

The Override checkbox lets you type in a custom number of pulls instead of using the currency fields. This is useful if you already know your total pull count, or if you want to test different amounts quickly without changing your Primogem, Fate, and Starglitter numbers.

Is this calculator accurate?

Yes. This calculator uses exact pull-by-pull probability math, not rough estimates or averages. It models the real soft pity rate increase, hard pity, the 50/50 system, Capturing Radiance, and Epitomized Path as they work in the game. The results match the actual drop rates Genshin Impact uses.

What does the constellation rate table show?

The rate table shows the probability of reaching each constellation (or refinement) level with your available pulls. The Exact Rate column shows the chance of landing on exactly that level. The Cumulative column shows the chance of reaching that level or higher. Your target row is highlighted in green.

Do I lose my Fate Points when the weapon banner changes?

Yes. Fate Points reset to zero when the weapon banner changes. If you have Fate Points built up, make sure to finish pulling before the banner ends. Your weapon banner pity count does carry over, but Fate Points do not.

How does the multi-target queue work?

When you add more than one target, the calculator figures out pulls for the first target, then uses the remaining pulls for the second target, and so on. It shows a progress bar and success rate for each target in order. You can drag targets up or down to change the priority order.

What is the difference between the 5.0+ weapon banner and the pre-5.0 weapon banner?

The 5.0+ weapon banner only needs 1 Fate Point to guarantee your chosen weapon. The pre-5.0 version needed 2 Fate Points, meaning you could lose twice before getting a guarantee. The 5.0+ version is much cheaper on average. Pick the correct option based on which version of the banner you are wishing on.

Can I use this calculator for the standard banner?

Yes. Select Specific 5★ on Standard Banner or Specific 4★ on Standard Banner from the banner dropdown. Keep in mind that the standard banner has many possible 5-star characters and weapons, so the chance of getting one specific item is much lower than on a featured banner. The results are approximate for standard banner pulls.

What does the probability curve chart show?

The cumulative probability curve shows your chance of success (vertical axis) as your pull count increases (horizontal axis). A red line marks your current available pulls. The steeper the curve climbs at your pull count, the more value each extra pull gives you. Flat sections mean extra pulls barely improve your odds.

How many pulls can I get per patch as a free-to-play player?

Free-to-play players typically earn around 60 to 80 wishes per patch (about 6 weeks) from events, daily commissions, Spiral Abyss, exploration, maintenance rewards, and codes. This varies by patch. Use the manual pull override to test different savings amounts and see if you can reach your goal in time.
